MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON MOTION
Per Curiam. Linda SooHoo was admitted to practice by this Court in 1991 and lists a business address in Boston, Massachusetts with the Office of Court Administration. SooHoo now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [ 22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose SooHoo's application.
Upon reading SooHoo's affidavit sworn to July 7, 2023 and filed July 13, 2023, and upon reading the August 21, 2023 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that SooHoo is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, P.J., Lynch, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Fisher, JJ., concur.
